(5) A certified child care center certificate cannot be transferred to any other location or to another organization or individual.

(6) A certified child care center must request in writing to CCLD any changes in the conditions of the certificate such as center capacity, age range of children, changes in room use, or hours of operation. A certified child care center must receive approval from CCLD before making such changes.
